The mana recovery from a redeemer belt is a multiplier, I'd go for that or work towards a cloak of defiance. I would not recommend dropping essence worm though

The stygian ones with the mana recovery are way too expensive for me. I'd have to settle for a normal belt and drop a jewel. Is that worth it?

A cloak of defiance could get the job done, maybe coupled with the boot enchant.

For some extra info, my arc cost inside sigil of power with quality(increases cost by 10%) is 2050 and my mana regen with arcan surge is 2800~

I don't see cloak of defiance as recommended in the pob, is it worth losing the 100~ life for it?

Yes, it worth it, 3600 life is kind of safe zone, if you can build up ~8000 mana.

Some calculation below:

Let's say, you have 4000 life & 6000 mana currently. While you dropped to 3600 life & increase to 6400 mana if switched to cloak.


Without cloak, your effective HP will be:
* Mind over matter bonus + Arcane Cloak Protection
* 4000 / (1-30%) + 6000 * 75% = 10214

With cloak, your effective HP will be:
* Larger mind over matter bonus + Arcane Cloak Protection
* 3600 / (1-40%) + 6400 * 75% = 10800

So by trading 400 total HP with 400 total mana when switching to the cloak, you actually get a bit more EHP here, also with better mana regen and DPS.

hi,
Great Build, have had a blast playing Poe for the first time and now already at lvl 84.

Have a question regarding passive tree. I am about to skill outwards to Righteous Army and Spiritual Aid. Have checked out some online content which mentions that Minions do not affect self.

Is this simply wrong info or is the build tree outdated where it used to use Golems, but now Bone Of & Desecrate should be different?

Thanks for the help!

Just getting started with this as I've exclusively gone bow builds before (quite unsuccessfully!)

A couple of quick questions:

1) How much of an octopus build is this? I have trouble with reaction times as I'm old!! I cant use a build that has me jumping all over the keyboard pressing abilities every couple of seconds, All of my bow builds have consisted of main attack (left), boss attack (right), ballista (middle) and tha'ts about it... the rest has gone on golem & auras which is a case of turn them on & forget about them. I barely manage to remember to use non essential flasks except healing.

2) There doesn't appear to be much about gem & items during levelling. The gem section is exhaustive in describing what to use and when but there is no mention of anything in between - having empty gem slots seems a waste when you can fill them with the types of thing I mentioned earlier - a good starting example is "raise zombies" or "summon holy relic"

A related point is the items - its fine looking at end game gear but I admit to knowing next to nothing about wands/starves etc. What should I be looking for? A 2 handed staff? 2 x wands? A wand & a shield?

Slightly related to the above point - what am i looking for on a weapon - obviously starting with a wand am I interested in upgrading it to a better version that seems slower but has higher Phys damage (which seems irrelevant to a lightning based spell attack) or looking for maxing spell damage?

For instance which is better?

5-9 phy dam 1.4 speed 10% spell dam

8-16 phy 1.2 speed no spell dam but small added cold dam etc?

I play SSF so I'm limited to what I find, I have found a yellow wand that is starting base type but has +31& total spell dam - do I stick with this for a while even when better wands are available in terms of raw damage potential?

Read the Spiritual Aid node closer, that is what that whole path is all about, once you select it you will also receive the benefits the minions do.

Spiritual Aid is a notable passive skill that grants increased damage and increased accuracy rating for minions, as well as increased global accuracy rating. The player is also affected by Increases and Reductions to Minion Damage.

Probably a silly question, but once i have crafted the belt with the redeemers orb. Is it safe to craft over the top of the 'cannot roll attack modifers' ?

Loving the build so far!

Also seems to be very, very lucky for me as a SSF player

One Lv 6 Heist netted me: Goldrim, Thousand Ribbons, Lifesprig & Doedre's Damning - all which seem useful for this build early on

Needless to say that my Resistances are almost maxed out & spark doing DpS +400 mid way through Act 1.

Still confuse about what I should be looking for equipment wise though, especially weapon wise, as I'm having difficulty comparing as some mods are not useful at all whereas a phy build is a lot easier to compare.

Forgot to add: small point.

Following the guide, once I change Arc to "always cast not moving" with Flame surge & Orb of storms being likewise selected I cant move at all?

How do you get around this - I just unchecked again & cast arc manually using CTRL to keep me still (used to this with bows)

unveil all weapons as you can until you find "trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill"
